Breaking Point movie

“Breaking Point movie” is set to be a colossal cinema hit in 2020 with amazing stars Like Tina Mba, Shaffy Bello, Timini, Ninalowo, Tobi Bakre, Diane, Fehintola Olukotun Starring Mc Lively.

Breaking Point movie

As Nollywood has continued to enjoy an upward ascent in the area of picture quality and every other component that makes for amazing visuals, one of the leading media houses in Nigeria, “Vidi360 Production” made a grand debut of the film production arm of the company by embarking on their first project “Breaking Point” directed by Xela.

The star studded movie features an amazing cast comprised of some of the premier names in the African movie industry like Gbenga Titiloye, Shaffy Bello, Bolanle Ninalowo, Tina Mba, Fehintola Olukotun, Timini Egbuson, Mc Lively, Tobi Bakre, Diane, Cute Abiola & more. Here are the highlights of the wonderful time we had on the set and making of Breaking Point the Movie;

The Amazing cast

One can say the Casting team did a fantastic job as every actor picked, suited the roles they were given perfectly which made for a smooth interpretation of the robust characters to be played in the movie. With over 12 A-list Actors, it was a seamless interpretation of roles and a very enjoyable working experience all round.

The rivalry between Shaffy Bello (Mrs. Akintola) and Tina Mba (Mrs. Okafor) is a fiery one alongside equally captivating lead actor Bolanle Ninalowo (Dozie) who plays Mrs. Okafors son.
Following the success of Elevator Baby, Shaffy Bello & Timini are beginning to become the preferred mother and son duo of nollywood and they once again created their magic on set and delivered an award winning performance.

Locations & Props

As we all know, beautiful places make even more beautiful pictures and the stellar job done by the location and props crew, would have one amazed at the attention to detail and the portraying of Lagos as a world-class city befitting of the opulent lifestyle of the characters in the movie.

Story is superb

The story is relatable in today’s contemporary society – We saw how a young lady had a mindset of sacrificing all it takes and absorbing the pains and abuses of her relationship to the reward of marrying from a wealthier class based on her mother’s continued reminders that wealth is the only source of marital happiness.

Another great element to this movie, is the entertainment meets tech aspect which encourages the vastly growing number of African youths who are striving to be leaders and innovators to continue in the pursuit of creativity, self determination and personal discovery.

This movie embodies the major elements of the average personal life of people today; Business rivalry, Love, Hatred, Glamour and Parenting.

Use of Lighting

Going by the unmatched pedigree of the direction team Adams GUD & Oke Abiola, there is no doubt that the standard of lighting is world class. The Ace directors worked closely with other technical crew members to ensure the best quality for your viewing pleasure.

Alte New skool Actors.

The movie also features amazing actors like MC Lively, Tobi Bakre, Diane Russet & Fehintola Olukotun who have recently taken the industry by storm in the last couple years.

Tobi Bakre and Diane Russet, Shot to limelight After their stint at the BigBrother reality show in 2018 & 2019 respectively.

Also popular instagram comedian MC Lively who played Derek Shonde – The tech Geek couldn’t thrill us less with his comic facial expressions and marvelous interpretation of his role.

Official Nollywood Debut

Breaking Point the movie is also set to debut another shooting Star in the person of Fehintola Olukotun as the Female lead alongside Ninalowo Bolanle.

This is geared to be the second mega Debut this year, as Living in Boundage successfully Introduced a new face, Nnamdi Okeke who had an outstanding performance in the second sequel.

Fehintola olukotun played Kemi Akintola and her talent, professionalism, amicable nature and hardworking spirit shows that “she is here to stay” and will be a formidable force in the industry for years to come.

The quality of pictures

We painstakingly sourced some of the best equipments in the world of image capturing, movie production and editing so as to create the crispest, clear and esthetically pleasing picture experience for our befitting audience.

Plot Twist
The plot twist in this movie is unprecedented, as we see an impressive depiction of previously nonchalant timini Egbuson become a business and techy personality with an innovative app with the help of his friend in the agricultural sector. The twist also saw a happy-go-lucky Kemi Akintola devolving into a psychotic rage due to an unexpected twist of fate.

Costuming & Make up
Sodiq Ayinde & Adella did a great job in putting up stylish, glamorous and appropriate looks for all actors for the duration of production – Adella is known for her beautiful painting in King of Boys pictures.

However speaking with CEO of Vidi360, Ifedayo Oniyide expresses his gratitude towards the Actors and crew member stating that “the actors never stopped amazing me, aside the fact that I have a personal relationship with most of them, they were able to give us a professional delivery which is one of our core beliefs at our firm. Their level of humility and the courteous interactions between our crew members, actors and executives on set and even after, has been amazing so far” I believe we have had a satisfying and amazing production and we cant wait to share the visuals with everyone .

Recall that Ifedayo Oniyide was formerly the man behind Mavin Records Media & promotions wheel

“I thought i was unfortunate when my career didn’t pick up” – Rapper, Reminisce

Nigerian rapper, Remilekun Safaru popularly known as Reminisce has revealed that he initially thought he was jinxed, when his musical career refused to pick up during the early stage of his career.

The ‘Baba Hafusa’ rapper revealed this during a recent empowerment program which held in Lagos state.

In his words ;

“My dad had always insisted that one must have some form of formal education before one chose to do anything (else). After my OND in 2003 (16 years ago), I met ID Cabasa. And that was how my journey started as a musician. I also met 9ice, Lord of Ajasa, 2phat, and G-Dog (who ended up being Olamide), through ID Cabasa.

“I thought I was a bit unfortunate when I started (my career) because things didn’t really pick up for me. 9ice ‘blew up’ and my siblings would call me, telling me to go and get a job, saying my friend was already miles ahead of me. Things weren’t working out for me then. There was a struggle but I kept pushing until my time came in 2010/2011.

However, I ‘blew up’ into responsibilities. When I ‘blew up’, I already had my first daughter. When I started making money, my dad advised me to set some aside for the upkeep of my daughter and that taught me to be responsible financially.

At the end of the day, no matter what one makes, there is some sort of pressure in the entertainment industry. One has to look good but one has to make sure one wears these things only when one can afford them.”

She ended our relationship as a Christmas Gift – Heartbroken Man cries out

A heartbroken man has taken to his social media page to seek respite after his girlfriend decided to end their relationship during the festive period.

File Photo

In his words ;

I have never been this confused in my life. I started dating my girl like 3 months ago. This is a girl that is committed to Gods things and firmly stands on christian value and principle in her dealings all around.

Shortly along the line of our relationship, she revealed to me that she is a virgin which I doubted until she allowed me to verify like I was taken child delivery for her. She is 24 years old, her dad is a deeper life pastor and a solder at the same time.

Funny enough, her dress does not suggest that she has anything at all to do with deeper life, though she doesn’t wear trousers and doesn’t put on hair rings. But in all of these, her look still doesn’t bear semblance with a typical religious person.

She asked me if I can wait until marriage in terms of sex because she is not ready to give up her virginity for anything at all until official solemnisation, firstly because she doesn’t want to disappoint her dad and secondly, because she doesn’t want to betray her Christian value and believe. I was so happy to have a woman of such rarely found quality in my life and never thought it twice before striking a relationship deal of no sex with her.

All was going fine. Once in a while we passionately kissed when such opportunity presents it self. While doing this, I sometimes got carried away by stretching my hands towards the location of NO GO AREA clearly defined in the preagreement terms of our relationship. But her determination in protecting that area is second to none.

Honestly, I fell in love with this girl and even the scar of satisfying her is still visible on my body. I did all I could to make her persistently happy.

To cut it short, just this morning, she sent me a breakup message. It was unbelievable and came as a shock because breakup message is what I least expected from her at this nascent stage of our relationship.

Meanwhile, just yesternight which is barely 12 hours ago, we had a good conversation on WhatsApp like we used to have, in which she was asking me about my day, what I ate, my activities for that day and all that. The conversation was so mutual and ran smooth that it didn’t suggest any hostility or preconceived plan of breaking up.

Since I saw the message, I have been muttering to my self about what could actually be the real reasons for such spontaneous decision. Though when I pressured her about the real reasons for this action, she told me that a guy broke her heart in 2017, and since that time she has been finding it difficult to love.

Pls how can I handle this situation ? I love this girl genuinely and at the same time, at this stage of my life, I don’t want to waste anytime by making repetitive appeal and persuasion in hope that probably she is gonna change her mind…

Dayo Amusa reacts after being dragged for saying she enjoys having sex

Nollywood Actress, Dayo Amusa has replied critics after being dragged for publicly admitting that she enjoys having sex.

The heated exchange came after the Nollywood actress shared her thoughts about sex and the stereotype attached to women having sex with different partners.

Dayo Amusa wrote;

The ish am about to raise here now might probably offend some of you, even if it result to an unfollown, Iyen gan tun nice. Proceed with caution

I enjoy having sex. I mean good sexual intercourse. You know the thing that people do that is acceptable in society if you’re married, or if you’ve been in a partnership with somebody for sometime but most definitely not acceptable if you have sex with somebody on the first date or if you have sex somebody that you don’t know all that well. Why can’t people just have sex for the sake of having sex? Why can’t people just have sex for the sake of havings ex?

Why the actual fuck does a woman that enjoys having sexual relationships with a partner or partners automatically make people jump to conclusion that the woman doesn’t respect herself? Why does a woman have to justify herself? I don’t give a fuck if you sleep with 200 people or you’ve only ever been with 1 or none. I don’t a fuck if you’re sleeping with two, three or twenty partners. I don’t give a fuck if you have sex on the first date or wait until the 30th date. Want to know why I do’t give a fuck? Because it’s none of fucking business.

You know your body, and at the end of the day it’s your body therefor you make the rules. Why are women being shamed for having sexual relationships? The sad part is majority of it is women shaming other women. SUPPORT EACH OTHER FOR FUCK SAKES. SEX IS A NATURAL HUMAN INTERACTION. Fuck who you want, when you want, where you want. You don’t owe an explanation to anybody. And you surely are not ‘disrepectin yourself’ because you enjoy having sex. Be transparent, and educate yourself before expressing such stupidity. But make sure you are playing safe o. Make safe choices

The actress was however forced to react to certain comments which attacked her career and accused her of not being a good role model and representative of the Yoruba culture.

Why I don’t want to marry or have children – Monalisa Stephen discloses

Monalisa Stephen discloses

Nollywood actress Monalisa Stephen was attacked on social media weeks back when she stated that she doesn’t want to marry neither have children of her own.

But in a new interview with Vanguard, the actress has opened up on the reason why she is making that critical life decision.

“Most people think it’s abnormal not to have your own flesh and blood and they think I took this decision because of my past relationship/heartbreak. Even someone personally chatted me and said she hopes I will find time to heal from what I am going through, blah blah, but this is a decision I took when I was 15, even though I am in my 20s but I relate well with older people and they thought me a lot of good things which changed my approach to life decisions and situations,” she said.

She further stated that people should not mistaken her decision for hatred for children.

“I love children a lot. When I was a teenager I would volunteer to go Care Homes and work since I don’t have money to give them and till now I still do it. Not to blow my trumpet or anything I just love caring for children and I know how it feels not to have parents. I lost my dad when I was one and my mum some few years ago and it’s still affecting me.

So, my decision not to have my own kids is due to my experience and the fact that there are millions of kids out there who deserve to be in a good family , who need to experience genuine family love and care. And I will not hesitate to give that chance to 2 kids , help them educationally, mentally and spiritually with the help and grace of God,” she quipped.
